condemnation were entered and these lots were ordered released under bond, 
conditioned that the liquid contents be destroyed, under the supervision of the 
Federal Security Agency. On December 9, 1946, no claimant having appeared 
for the St. Louis lot, judgment of condemnation was entered and the court
